First off, HI! I’m so glad you’re here.


A few fun things to know about me in no particular order:

  • I love coffee, especially if it involves finding some off-the-path cafe in a town I've never been to.
  • Yes, I am another girl obsessed with her doodle. His name is Bauer and I'd go to the ends of the earth for him.
  • I have a cat named Kalon. He's a Scottish Fold from Ukraine (yes really). Extra fun fact you didn't ask for and real Swifties already know: Taylor Swift has the same kind of cat. For the record, I had mine first.

And if I’m not outside enjoying the weather, I’m probably inside binging another episode of The Real Housewives or in the kitchen trying to turn my favorite dessert into something with protein. Because apparently, I work really hard at the gym just to keep showing up as my very average, very dessert-loving self.

I’m all about creating photos that feel warm, natural, and true to you. My work is inspired by soft natural light, meaningful locations, movement, emotion, and all the little in-between moments.


My editing style leans warm and nostalgic with a touch of grain for that soft, filmy feel. My goal is for your photos to feel timeless and comfortable. The kind of images that don’t just show what you looked like, but bring you right back to what this season felt like.


Nervous in front of the camera? Totally normal. I’ll guide you the whole way with simple prompts, natural movement, and gentle direction so you never feel lost.

From Service to Storytelling

Before the business, there was the mission.

A fun little backstory: the Air Force is actually where I first learned how to use a camera.

I was trained in Public Affairs, which meant learning how to document real moments, pay attention to the details, and tell a story through images. It taught me to look for emotion, connection, and the little in-between moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

That training still shapes the way I photograph today: with intention, awareness, and a deep appreciation for preserving the moments that matter.

Big Animal Person Energy

Dogs, cats, fosters, and probably stopping mid-sentence to point out an animal.

Animals have always been one of the softest parts of my life.

Bauer and Kalon are a big piece of my little world, but fostering has added a whole other layer to that love. It has taught me patience, tenderness, and how meaningful it can be to give something a safe place to land, even if it’s only for a little while.


I think that’s part of why I’m so drawn to honest, emotional moments in photography too. I love the quiet connections, the little details, and the kind of love that doesn’t always need to be perfectly posed to be worth remembering.
